So I took a break from the 30 Day Challenge for Spring Break, but now I'm back for the last few entries. Today, here are two pictures of me: One from last year and one from this year. So what has changed?
- Growth
- Physically: A lot of weight fluctuations. :) Honestly, I struggle with my weight a lot. It's a daily battle to make the right choices as far as diet and exercise are concerned. So I get on and off the weight loss bandwagon. I am currently struggling to loose fifteen to thirty pounds (and just FYI, I usually don't get jacked up about the numbers. I don't weigh every day or every week for that matter). Over the course of this year it's my guesstimate that I've lost around 5-10 pounds. Like I said, I am horribly inconsistent with eating healthy and exercising on a regular basis but I won't give up. I know it's not about being skinny, it's about being healthy. If the goal was to be skinny, I would have given up already. :)
- Emotionally/Spiritually: Last year I was a bit of a mess from a lot of things that had happened in '09. I won't go into great detail, but suffice it to say that I was struggling with depression, apathy, and trust. I wasn't always a walking emotional basket case, but I always had something to be upset about. God has used countless mediums to help me move on from the past and embrace His presence. I know it's a Sunday School answer, but what helped me accept the past and begin working towards moving on was praying and reading my Bible. This past year I've grown more than I thought possible. It's not so much that I've learned all new things (though there have been plenty of new lessons learned), but the basic concepts (like God loves me, God's sovereign and is to be totally trusted, nothing can take away my salvation, I don't have to let the past define who I am, my sole purpose in life is to bring glory to Jesus Christ...etc) have been reinforced and I feel like I really 'get' them more than I have before. Praise God for that.
